I've thought about that with the LAV. There was that one vehicle, i think it's called the Pulveriser that had like eight wheels going down each side, but that was just an artillary piece.

I've always felt that the Joes could use more logistics vehicles. There is the APC for troop transport, but what about some kind of truck on which to transport a tank or Wolverine. Maybe the Desert/Jungle Strike Humvess could be retooled to resemble the M-998 cargo version of the Humvee.

An Osprey or other troop transport aircraft would be great, plus the movie had the Howler, which was, for all intents and pouposes, a jet powered Osprey.

While five Marines are as good as any battalion of Army SpecOps, more Marines.

The Night Rhino/Warthog almost got it right by duplicating the Marine Corps' LVTP-7 AMTRAC, but an amphibious assault vehicle would be nice. While the Night Rhino/Warthog looks almost right, it's about half as long as it should be and the hatches open on the side rather than the top and back end.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
